And this is another version of my drawing Cloud Strife. Like I said under first drawing... at first I drew design of Cloud (this here), so that's why this drawing have bigger resolution than one which I submitted in gallery...I just cropped a part from this drawing, I changed composition and I drew the background. Like you see...I don't have background here, so I did another piece

I love the detailed work on the sword and boots, and also the shoulder pad on the left side. But it also has simplicity in other parts that keeps it from becoming too busy and remain balanced. Overall. . . I love it!!

Cloud looks positively badass here, however, I'm not sure about the cinders/ashes/fireflies - whatever you'd refer to them as. They kind of detract the image for me and impede the art, rather than improve. Looking at it, without that and retaining the background flair and flourishes, this would be superb. But I will not detract from the fact that this is a well done piece! Kudos indeed!
